Description
Overview:
Topic: 1v1 Dribbling
Age: U11
Ability: Basic/Cognitive
Number of players: 12
Learning Objectives:
- Understanding a defender's behaviours
- Improve on dribbling technique and importance of movement emphasis
- When and how to shift the ball to beat the defender
Organisation (Practice Layout & Transition)
Traditional Practice Layout (Technique, Skill, SSG)
Transitions mentioned in session descriptions
Technical Coaching Style:
Autocratic: Will be used in the technical session to give players certain instructions to follow and give little player freedom. This is classed as a more dictatorial way of coaching, described as 'coach-led' (Brooks, 2022)
Skill Coaching Style:
Democratic: Will be used in the skill session to give players more creativity in their decision making, particularly against an opposition. This allows players to find solutions to their own problems and 'explore through play' (Brooks, 2022)
SSG Coaching Style:
Laissez-Faire: Will be used in the SSG. This is more of a hands off approach which allows players freedom in their decisions and movements. Coaches are able to intervene at any moment if the opportunity arises. (Chapman, 2015)

See the guidance at the top of this page to understand why you are not seeing interactive Football/Soccer images.
Learning Objectives
|
|
Technical Repetition of dribbling mechanics. Outside of the foot dribbling to keep natural running strides |
|
|
Tactical Risk and reward for different mechanics that work under the circumstances. |
|
|
Physical Done at match pace. Short, sharp explosive movement in a small area when accelerating away from defender. Work:Rest ratio: (4:1) |
|
|
Psychological Quicker decision making. Praise and critique. Will this work against a defender? |
|
|
Social Someone shouting GO to cue for them and the opposite player to start. Verbal/Non-verbal communication |
Technique (15 mins)
Equipment: Balls, Cones, Flats, Mannequin, Mini goals, Bibs, Whistle, Stopwatch
Time: 15 mins
Players: 12
Work:Rest Ratio: 4:1
Area size: 20x20m
Description: 1v1 Dribbling
3 players will be placed at each yellow flat with the same bibbed facing diagonally opposite each other.
Players will look to dribble up to the mannequin and shift the ball to the right and then to the left as the drill progresses through the coned gates on the edge of the area.
Once they've dribbled through the gate, they will re-join the back of the same line.
1 player from each diagonal of the session will go at the same time (e.g. red bibs will go at the same time whilst blues wait. Once reds have finished their turn, blues go and reds wait)
Coaching Points:
- Small, close touches
- Use outside of the foot
- Head up
- Get up to arm's length of the mannequin
- Emphasise movements
- Big touch away from mannequin, quick acceleration afterwards
- Add various skill moves
- Change direction
- Time Limit of 5 seconds to perform action
Challenges, Conditions or Targets:
- Max 4 touches
- Always try and go through gate before opposite player does
Planned Interventions:
- Team Meeting: At the beginning of the drill to explain the practice
- Walkthrough: Players will walk through the practice with a demonstration before playing live
- Freeze: Pause the practice when there is common mistakes that need to be addressed to the group
- Bullseye: Pull an individual to the side to give feedback on session performance
- Concurrent: Delivering feedback throughout the entire session whether it be positive or critical
- Mannequin is moved behind one mini goal
- 1 minute drinks break

Learning Objectives
|
|
Technical Repetition of dribbling mechanics in 1v1 situations. |
|
|
Tactical Have a feel of an in-game scenario. Analysing these different in-game scenarios. Risk and reward. |
|
|
Physical Short, sharp, explosive movement when accelerating away from defender. Small area to work in. Work:Rest ratio: (4:1) |
|
|
Psychological Quicker decision making. Praise and critique. |
|
|
Social Someone keeping scores. Team Captains. Verbal/Non-Verbal communication |
Skill (15 mins)
Equipment: Balls, Cones, Flats, Mannequin, Mini goals, Bibs, Whistle, Stopwatch
Time: 15 mins
Players: 12
Work:Rest Ratio: 4:1
Area size: 20x20m
Description: 1v1 Dribbling
3 players will be placed at each yellow flat with the same bibbed facing diagonally opposite each other. One player will be in the middle, replacing the mannequin
Players will perform the same actions as in the technique drill, except this time there is an active defender trying to tackle them.
The drill ends once the player has been tackled or dribbled through one of the gates and passes the ball into the mini goal.
Once they've dribbled through the gate, the defender will join the back of the line of their respective bib colour and the dribbler will defend the next player
The drill will move clockwise (1 goes first, 4 goes last)
Players have the freedom to go in whatever direction to keep defender guessing
Defender starts in 2x2m box and can venture out of it
Coaching Points:
- Small, close touches
- Use outside of the foot
- Head up
- Get up to arm's length of the defender
- Emphasise movements
- Big touch away from defender, quick acceleration afterwards
- Body in between ball and man
Adaptations (Progressions & Regressions):
- Add various skill moves
- Points system: 1 point for every completed dribble through the gates
Challenges, Conditions or Targets:
- Use weaker foot if they are finding it too easy or not showing any variety
- Time Limit of 5 seconds
- Always use skill moves
Planned Interventions:
- Team Meeting: At the beginning of the drill to explain the practice
- Walkthrough: Players will walk through the practice with a demonstration before playing live
- Freeze: Pause the practice when there is common mistakes that need to be addressed to the group
- Bullseye: Pull an individual to the side to give feedback on session performance
- Concurrent: Delivering feedback throughout the entire session whether it be positive or critical
- Cones and flats picked up and placed on side line
- Mini goals moved past the side line
- 1 minute drinks break

|
|

SSG (20 mins)
Equipment: Flats, Cones, Balls, Whistle, Stopwatch
Time: 20 mins
Players: 12
Work:Rest Ratio: 4:1
Area size:20x20m
Description: 1v1 Dribbling SSG
Players will use what they have learnt from the Technique and Skill parts of the session in a SSG.
6v6 in a 40x30m area with the endzone being 4m in length.
Players have to dribble into the endzone to score a point.
Coaching Points:
- Small, close touches
- Use of outside of the foot
- Head up
- Get within arm's length of the defender
- Emphasize movements
- Big touch away from defender, quick acceleration afterwards
- Body in between ball and man
Planned Interventions:
- Team Meeting: At the beginning of the drill to explain the practice. For team meetings for captains to discuss formation and strategies
- Freeze: Pause the practice when there is common mistakes that need to be addressed to the group
- Bullseye: Pull an individual to the side to give feedback on session performance
- Concurrent: Delivering feedback throughout the entire session whether it be positive or critical
Adaptations (Progressions & Regressions):
- How many players dribbled past before making it into the endzone equates to how many points scored.
- Player movement to open up dribbling space (running off the ball)
